The doctors up I saw were adamant about the three months. I started the meds the day after my TIA but I had to stop the Brilinta and Aspirin because I had to have surgery about 1.5 months later. After the surgery I had to wait a couple of weeks to restart because of the bleeding risk. But now the neurologist was insistent on starting a whole new three months of the meds! This is the issue that prompted the question.
I was also told I could stop the anti platelet after that with no followup needed unless I had an issue. So what is the “magical three months” all about?

Have you simply asked the physician?
